Peter Andre, a well-known British-Australian singer and TV personality, took a much-needed break in the late 1990s. He had been rising to fame with chart-topping hits like Mysterious Girl, Flava, and I Feel You, but the pressure and demands of his career had taken a toll on his mental health.
In a recent revelation, the 51-year-old star admitted to feeling like he couldn't talk to anyone about his struggles after suffering a mental breakdown during the height of his career. Despite his success, Peter was facing a deep personal struggle that lasted for many years.
After dropping off the charts around the turn of the millennium, Peter made a comeback by appearing on the popular TV show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here in 2004. But before his return, he had been silently battling a breakdown that started in the late 90s and lasted all the way through the 2010s.
Peter shared that during this time, he felt completely alone and misunderstood, even after seeking help from doctors and professionals. He explained that back in the 90s, mental health was considered taboo and many doctors didn't know how to handle it.
However, Peter is grateful that things have changed and there is more support and understanding for mental health now. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can encourage others to speak up and seek help if they are struggling.
Peter's own journey with mental health has been a long one, and he admits that it wasn't until he reached his 40s that he truly started to come through it. He also revealed that the passing of his brother Andrew triggered a lot of emotions and made his struggle even harder.
But now, the father of five wants to make sure his children understand the importance of mental health and never suffer in silence. He always encourages them to talk about their feelings and hopes to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
In the late 1990s, Peter took a six-year break from the music and TV industries, after being involved in talent shows and the pop world since the late 1980s. He initially rose to fame in 1989 after appearing on the Australian talent show New Faces, which led to him securing a recording contract worth more than £100,000.
In the early 1990s, he was sent to the UK to work with British music producers in an attempt to launch his career internationally. He achieved great success, with two number ones, five more top 10 hits, and a UK number one album between 1995 and 1998.
It was during this time that Peter met and married his first wife, Katie Price, with whom he has two children. They divorced in 2009, and Peter met his current wife, Emily MacDonagh, in 2012. The couple has since had three children together and have been happily married since 2015.
Peter has been open about his struggles with anxiety, revealing that he even ended up in the hospital due to panic attacks. He hopes that by speaking out, he can help others who may be going through similar experiences and break the stigma surrounding mental health.
